The Golden Dawn Building, Ponsonby, Auckland NZ

This landmark corner building with its Queen Anne/Art Nouveau facade was erected in 1911 by the Leys family. The Open Late Cafe was something of an institution in Ponsonby since its opening in the 1980s when (hard to imagine now) it was one of the only cafes in Auckland serving late night customers. The building now houses retail shops and The Golden Dawn (Tavern of Power) on the ground floor. #Auckland #Golden_Dawn #Jason_Combs #New_Zealand #Ponsonby #Ponsonby_Road #Richmond_Road
